KOTESOL International Conference 2016
(Concurrent Session)
Christopher Miller, Daeil Foreign Language High School
Towards a More Brain-Friendly Lesson
Abstract
With the increasing popularity of terms such as brain-friendly and brain-based education, educators need principles to draw on for enriching materials and lessons which align with our current understanding of the mind and brain. This presentation will provide seven principles articulated by Helgesen and Kelly (2015). Following this, the presenter will illustrate how he incorporated these precepts into his professional practice. Afterwards, workshop participants will be invited to consider ways in which to embed their lessons and materials with brain-friendly principles. Finally, principally based applications, insights, and lesson modifications will be discussed collectively.
